Away We Happened is finally here! The very first episode of the project I have been working on with Wong Fu Productions and AT&T is finally up at AwayWeHappened.com. This has been a new adventure for me since this is the first time I've done any real acting (Does playing "Puck" in A Midsummer Night's Dream in high school theater count? lol.) and I am so anxious, nervous, and excited to share it with you!

To give a bit of insight into the concept of the project, here is the Trailer with the Wong Fu guys explaining how the series will work:

You guys watch the video, go to awaywehappened.com and submit your suggestions for what should happen in the next episode, and vote on which plot you like the most! Then our team is going to write, film, edit, and upload the next episode in just a few days. As of this moment, I have no second script in hand and have no idea what will happen next!!!

I know you are waiting to see episode 1 so... *drumroll*

Here it is!

My heart was racing so hard watching this video for the first time since it's as much of a surprise for me as it was for you. Still totally in disbelief and such an honor to be working with such talented and wonderful people.

Now I'm leaving Boulder today for a stop overnight in Vegas on my road trip, then onward to LA! I'll be looking forward to reading all of your comments as I make my way West. :D

I think the ex-boyfriend angle for the letter is a bit obvious, but maybe it could be for someone else, like an estranged relative. Maybe she doesn't have a good relationship with one of her parents or something.

Wow this is so great, you are sooo talented ♥ And I love love love to hear your voice ♥

The letter is for her ex-boyfriend, whom she broken up with yet and yes she should say that they should meet. I`m so excited about the newest episode! I hope you will also post it on your blog.Much love and greetings from germany ♥

Wow!! I loved the video!! It was soo funny! This is so exciting!!! So happy for you! What an amazing opportunity. I have no idea what the next episode should entail! But I can't wait to see it! Have a nice trip!

wow jen! it's so great to see you involved in film! i feel like maybe there will be more representation for asian americans in films as people like you decide to get involved :) can't wait to see more of you!

I'm so excited to see epi2! I think Jean should totally say yes to meeting in person. But I think she won't say it right away bc they'll talk all night first. That letter in the beginning is maybe a goodbye letter??? Great work! Looking beautiful!

oh my goodness, i giggled the whole time! this clip is waaaayyy too adorable! :DDD i am all smiles now. why did it end there?! Jade should respond YES, and i want to know who the letter is for also. i hope the next episode doesn't take too long! :] great job, Jen!

Great job, as everyone has already posted. I liked the pace of the story so far. It isn't so cutesy and cliched (as in they hate each other and then fall in love). Your character reveals little bits of herself without being too heavy handed. And, there is a vulnerability in the guy that I like. Can't wait to see what happens.

Funny, when I saw your name was "Jean" all I could think of was "ExtraPetite!" lol. The styling was fantastic. You look petite, but not super small-- just very classy and stylish. Agreed that you need a tutorial on the makeup for the episode.

This is my version: You agreed to meet up at you and Daniel's meeting point. You came there, happily and anxiously, but you didn't meet him. You've waited an hour, without any notification, and Daniel's phone was off. Yo went home, feeling mad, silly and stupid of trusting people too quick, and embarrassed of the happy and anxious feeling at first. In the end, you decided to just mail out the luggage to him.

You agreed to meet up. But after the phone conversation, you had a second thought. And flash back of what happened with the letter. The letter was from your ex boyfriend that wanted to reconcile because both of you had a misunderstanding in the past but he patch it up. But still you are considering. Now you have to choose either a new flame or an ex flame.

You decided to leave it to faith and text Victor giving him excuse that you will send the bag to him instead. He was a bit disappointed and assumed that maybe you are already in a relationship. But then the day before Victor send the bag over for delivery, he accidentally dropped the bag and somehow the locks were broken thus exposing the stuff in the bag. One of it was the letter...

He hesitated whether to read it or not.. At last, he read it and he discovered something...
